What kinda goals do you have for it??. What do you have to spend??. Do you want to run a big converter??? Not trying to be a smart *** but you should get them out of the way, then you can start your hunt...

for reliability issues, Magnacharger is supreme... and I am not biased either

slap a TVS 1900 on her and call it a day. I would look into a better trans if you plan on pushing it hard tho.
